the love you thought

You think you love her, but you're just addicted to her body.



But what exactly is love? After stripping away desire, can it still be called love?
To what extent is the sentence "I'm afraid I will fall in love with you" really from the heart, and to what extent is it to avoid responsibility?
But the girl is always desperate to fly into the flames.
I don't want anything, I just want you to remember the way you see me at this moment.

I just watched the Adriana version of Lolita some time ago, and the creatures like girls are really evil. But seriously you lose. It's sad to think about it.


"I knew you and I will always remember you. Back then, you were young and everyone said you were beautiful. Now, I'm here to tell you that, to me, I think you're more beautiful now than when you were young You were a young woman back then, and I love your devastated face more than your face then."

Hope all love in the world has a happy ending.

    As a fan of Duras' original novel, the movie is not easy to watch, for fear of ruining it. Liang Jiahui's temperament basically conforms to the prototype of the novel, which is cowardly, incompetent, violent and simple. I don't like the image of a girl, because it lacks a strong and resistant character. The second half of the film is noticeably better than the first half. What touched me the most in the novel was the picture of a Chinese man bathing a Caucasian woman. I didn't expect the film to be treated coldly and without beauty. "The Lover" can't be filmed, it is peerless.

    A well-established French literary and artistic love film, whether the screenwriter or the actor can suffocate a person

The Lover quotes

  • [last lines]

    Narrator: Years after the war, after the marriages, the children, the divorces, the books, he had come to Paris with his wife. He had phoned her. He was intimidated; his voice trembled, and with the trembling it had found the accent of China again. He knew she'd begun writing books. He had also heard about the younger brother's death. He had been sad for her. And then he had no more to tell her. And then he told her - he had told her that it was as before, that he still loved her, that he would never stop loving her, that he would love her until his death.

  • Narrator: "Now and then I go back to the house in Sadek. To the horror of the house in Sadek. It's an unbearable place. It's close to death. A place of violence of pain of despair, of dishonour... But it's in this family's dryness in it's incredible harshness that I am the most deeply assured in myself. In the deepest of my essential certainties, all common history of ruin and shame, of love and hate is in my flesh."
